A smooth-playing BlueSky college football game with a battery save, and about as cheap as US carts get.
College Football's National Championship II is a Genesis football game made by BlueSky Software and published by Sega, released in North America in 1995. Its 32 schools carry updated stats and attributes based on the 1994-95 season, and you can create your own team, players and divisions.
Next Generation gave the Genesis game four stars out of five and liked how smoothly the camera zooms in close for runs and passes, which it said greatly improves play. EA's College Football USA, with its 107 Division I-A teams, evened things up that year.
What the press said at the time
“Notify the next of kin. Sega’s hopes of a national championship are dead on arrival.”
Before you buy
Among US carts it is one of the cheapest, far below the middle. The cartridge saves to a battery inside it, so check that a save holds; a replaced battery is a normal repair, not a sign of a fake. Sega Retro lists the game as supporting Sega's Team Player multitap and using the six-button pad.
